-Nursing school not only turns you into nurses but also turns you into a horrible person as well. or at least that's how it feels when everyone wants to you yell and fight with you over the stupidest things saying "what's wrong with you?? you used to not be like this!" Go through what I've gone through the last 2 years and then tell me that.... or don't because you won't wanna tell me that if you understood. Sorry I've got a back bone now. Sorry I don't put up with the bull crap anymore.
-I've got a guardian angel!! or at least that's what it felt like today.... My car died in St. George yesterday in the hospital parking lot as me and my car load of people showed up for our 12 lead EKG interpretation certification class(say that 5 times fast!). After having my sub in southern Utah dad Daron jump it, after the class, and fill the battery with water he followed me on the freeway to make sure we didn't break down. I drove straight to the car repair shop without stopping, seriously not stopping for fear of dying at the stoplight, and after leaving it there overnight I got a phone call this morning saying that my battery and alternator was fine. Turns out it was only a loose connection and $27 repair. Talk about saving me stress! I hate car repairs and the thought of spending even more money on car repairs was making me sick. thank you guardian angel!!
-Cedar Sucks. The only thing that gets me through the days anymore is Brad's Diet cokes and my nursing friends. other than that I prefer to be gone on the weekends and home alone at nights. Lonely quiet nights at home are not always fun but at least quiet means no drama : )
-The Sunshine is amazing!! makes me smile no matter what! Saturday felt like summer hanging out outside and eating on the patio with the fam, and today was amazing playing Frisbee at a park in shorts and a tank top feeling the burn start on the back of my neck. Bring it on summer, I can't wait for you for more than one reason.
-Yesterday I got to get a "tour" of the lifeflight aircraft in Dixie. It's hard to call it a tour when the area of the aircraft is such that you can see the whole thing from just one side of it. Anyways, my Critical Care Professor Aja is the bomb. Seriously her stories would amaze you, that woman has done and seen everything!! Her and a fellow lifeflight employee showed us pictures from a recent head bleed call along with the equipment and such used for lifeflight. They were nice enough to even satisfy my wants of a photograph. In fact Aja was all about it haha! I love that lady, she's so cool!
I can only hope that one day I can be as confident and knowledgeable as Aja.
-my family's the greatest. Cheese moment but seriously just need to acknowledge the fact that without them particularly my parents I would not be surviving. for examples... Car problems stress me out more than anything and on top of everything yesterday my mom was so great. Called our family friend in St. George gave me his cell phone to call when we were leaving and he'd come help then she says..."relax and enjoy and we will figure it out." Last night my dad on about the 12th phonecall told me to take a deep breath and relax, then today he responded to my text about the car's situation with "That is great news. Have a good afternoon. Love you". They know me all to well to know that all I need is a lil reassurance sometimes. They are always positive and I deeply appreciate it sending a little bit in my negative direction.
-I need to find a place to live in provo. I've got an idea as to what I'm looking for but finding it is going to be the tricky part... I don't know where to look and I've got to do it on Friday while I'm there cause that's my last time up there before graduation. Basically thinking town home set-up, definitely my own room, and preferably a bigger room than what I currently have. Cross your fingers for me and if you find anything I might like please do some roommate screening. too many bad experiences lately : )
-I'm officially done with DRMC. seeing some of the nurses from there at the EKG class yesterday made me really sad surprisingly. I hate the thought that I've become so comfortable in a hospital with such great staff and now I've got to leave it all and go out into the unknown. sounds more dramatic then trying to be but after a year and a half I've spent many many many many hours in the that place and it's weird to feel more at home at that place than I do my own apartment these days. DRMC and staff you've been so good to me, I hope I can be lucky enough to work in a place like you with people like you someday in the future.
-I'm getting really excited for graduation. Mostly just excited to have all my family in Cedar and show them around my second home as well as have them meet my classmates. It's gonna be a long but fun weekend!!
-Jessie aka J.Love had her second baby, baby girl Avery, last weekend. I haven't met her yet but I'm excited to see babe and mama! I can't imagine having a kid now let alone two let alone a husband so kudos to you Jess. I don't know how you do it!
well that's probably enough depressing rantings and ravings for now. I promise I am happy despite the above : ) Things are looking up for me, a new change is coming that's allowing me to leave the negative and crap behind and move on to a new adventure and new opportunities. I'll leave you on the positive note that I got to see my beautiful friends Brynn and Candice last weekend. We went to dinner in AF, ice blocking in provo followed by a cardboard bonfire in a backyard and it was a party : )
Happy Hump Day tomorrow!! one step closer to the weekend : )
